Hiya,

when I add new product to the catalog in Actinic and then add some options i.e. color then on the website after choosing the option from the product page the information for the option's been carried out to the basket and it's not included in the order as well. How can I fix that???

Thanks

When you go to the Wristband section and you choose a design for the wristband and coninue to checkout the data for the choosen design desappear.

Hi,

There is something odd about the way you have set this up. How have you managed to get two 'add to cart' buttons for one product?

Oh, those are to separate products, that's why I have to "Buy Now" buttons. The medical wristband doesn't come in any variants and has a different price than the ID wristband. The problem is with the ID wristband, it offers 3-4 choices of design. Hope I expalined it right, please let me know if there is still some confusion. Thanks:)

Hi,

OK, so the 'regular' buy online button is for this product. It looks like you have split the choices from the Add to cart button and I take it that you got this from the 'Advanced User Guide'. Can you please post your product line template so I can take a look at it please - if you upload it you should rename it to a .txt extention, otherwise just post the code.

Hi,

Sorry, but this just looks like the source of the online page, I actually want the code from your product template (Advanced | Template Manager | Sections tab | Product Line). Can you also let me know the exact version that you are using please (Help | About....).

In your post #7, I see

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="v_14_0" VALUE="on">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="v_15_0" VALUE="on">

These lines should not be there and will interfere with the selection of the first Attribute.

They seem to be coming from Act_Primary.html or Act_ProductBody.html.

Have you customised these in a strange way?

I put them there, where should they be?

Nowhere!

All Attributes, Choices and Component code is generated automatically by Actinic (via NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON - it generates a lot more code than just the button).

Your hand coding is creating a form field with the same name as one of the drop-down boxes.

Remove it and the page should work properly.
